Cuthbert Brodrick FRIBA (1 December 1821 – 2 March 1905) was a British architect, whose most famous building is Leeds Town Hall.

Brodrick was born in the Yorkshire port of Hull where his father was a well-to-do merchant and shipowner.

[1] Brodrick attended Kingston College in Hull and, on leaving school, he became an articled pupil in the architectural practice of Henry Francis Lockwood whose premises were at 8 Dock Street.

In 1852, aged 29, Brodrick entered and won a competition for the design of Leeds Town Hall.

[11] Since the demolition of Wellington House, in the Fruit Market area of the city, in 2014, no significant buildings by Brodrick survive in Hull.

Many properties in Yokefleet were built around the time and in style of the house, including two lodges, east and west of the hall.

[13] Brodrick designed Wells House which opened in 1856 as a Hydro, offering water treatments and pure air.
